seven-year-old-vow / Happy Mothers' Day

seven year old vow 

I will hit you with my fist

I will break the badword lips in your mouth

I will send a predator drone on your head from

space and warlocks to blast shaming chants

at you from the sun - put binding on your

arms and legs I will drag you to the crook of a cave

broken glass under your bare feet 

and waiting vultures will continue circling

my anger singing until slaked at all you have done

to my mother

I will take a slow picture of you bowed

with a quick camera

and wrap it in a bow 

to show

to her

for Mothers' Day

and then 

she and I 

without you

will sit in our

quiet house

and smile

and laugh 

I will give her

Unafraid Forever  

I vow 

I will

get you

when

I can
